who volunteers

Ages: Several positions are available for kids and teens who wish to serve!

 

Time: Many of our volunteers help out just once or twice a year, while others wish to serve in more consistant roles.

 

Accessibility: Many positions can easily accommodate wheelchair users and volunteers with limited mobility.

 

Talents: Maybe you love engaging with the public or doing something creative. Or maybe you prefer you build displays or pick up trash. There's a little something for everyone!
